If looking for a hamster .. look up "tilly's gun stocks" on facebook and message Tommy, he has just started to make Hamsters to match the Ultimate. I have one on order and he was a easy guy to deal with. I would have it now apart from I am out of the country on a business trip. He makes two styles, one with a flat back and (IMO) a much more matched to the ultimate curved style

Hopefully this works (going to try and link to some of his pics on his facebook page)

HI Billy and Roger , hope You had a good xmas and new year . Yes I got the rifle but have been too busy to reply , I put a Hawke 6-24 sidewinder on it , but the big wheel for the adjustable objective is no good as it fouls the magazine.I haven't joined a club yet but zeros it at 12 yards in the cellar lol and 1 hole 10 shot groups , ok so far . Pub restaurant was shut yesterday and I set a backstop up and shot from 25 yes good groupings but they had opened up a little , need more practice .I'll try some different pellets and let You know how I get on , Kind regards,

the small Sidewinder wheel works fantastic on the Ultimate Sporter and does not foul the magazine ..
